How does one do that? Who controls the web hosting where these magical social media sites will operate? Where does the money come from to develop and operate these sites, and who will advertise on these sites to keep them running? The banks , paypal or Google will just refuse to process any financial transactions associated with these sites and advertisers boycotted ( bankrolled by face book, google) . Been paying attention the last 2 years?





you will always be at risk but one mistake that Parlor made was being completely reliant on AWS to host their system. You would have to get your own Fiber lines or better, your own servers with a dedicated registered IP address, purchase hosting software and then develop the platform internally. I don't think search engines would be an issue because public demand would drive the search engines to host it. You are probably right about financial transactions however, it would have to be self funded and you couldn't count on advertising. Even Fox faces the challenges of a limited number of advertisers willing to be associated with their platform. All that would mean a dedicated IT staff, a dedicated staff of developers and then all the administrative staff to support it . I think it would be a giant money pit burning thru millions of dollars each year with little hope of recouping cost thru traditional means.
